BOATERS PARADISE FOUND 114’ of waterfront with an 80’ deep water composite dock and no bridges to the bay and ICW. The value is in the land and the home is being sold AS IS and could be a fixer upper or tear down to build that waterfront home you have always dreamed of. Emerald Harbor is located midway on the island of Longboat Key just off the city of Sarasota and because of its waterfront desirability it is currently going through a transformation with the older homes being replaced or remodeled with multi-million-dollar homes. It is known for some of the widest and deepest canals on the island and has private beach access directly across the street to make it easy for watching the amazing sunsets, walking the 10 miles of a sugar sandy beach, or swimming the warm turquoise Gulf of Mexico waters. Location, location, location you are in close proximity to the Longboat Key Club Resort with its 45 holes of championship golf, nationally known tennis gardens, restaurants, and social activities. Just a short drive away to the world class shopping on St Armands Circle and the cultural amenities of downtown Sarasota while relishing the peacefulness of the quiet natural beauty of the neighborhood.
